CPVT and Complete Atrio-Ventricular Block: The Flipside of the Same Coin
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare electrical genetic disease characterized by ventricular polymorphic tachycardia and/or bidirectional ventricular tachycardia induced by the release of catecholamines caused by intense

Supraventricular Tachycardias Using Multiple Accessory Pathways. [PDF]
Three atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardias (AVRTs) using 3 accessory pathways (APs) occurred with the His bundle eliminated by the previous ablation. Two AVRTs using 2 right APs rotated reversely, and the other AVRT was one with a retrograde conduction through the left AP and anterograde conduction through the 2 right APs.

Unusual Findings and Outcomes of Balloon Mitral Valvotomy [PDF]
Balloon mitral valvotomy is a common procedure done for rheumatic mitral stenosis. However, certain cases may pose challenges and rarely may be life-threatening. Here, three unusual cases of balloon mitral valvotomy are presented.

Bidirectional Ventricular Tachycardia
![Figure][1] Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is a hallmark of severe digitalis toxicity. The 12-lead electrocardiogram obtained from a 54-year-old man with acute heart failure and digitoxin intoxication shows typical features of this potentially life-threatening arrhythmia: a ...

Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in fulminant myocarditis [PDF]
A 14-year-old girl (176 cm, 60 kg) was referred to our hospital with acute heart failure. She had a history of dyspnoea during a week. She developed orthopnoea and palpitations on the day of admission. The ECG of the referring hospital showed a bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (VT) ( Figure 1 A ).

Advances in the Molecular Genetics of Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a primary arrhythmogenic syndrome with genetic features most commonly seen in adolescents, with syncope and sudden death following exercise or agitation as the main clinical manifestations.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome: report of 3 novel mutations and high risk of symptomatic cardiac involvement. [PDF]
IntroductionAndersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a potassium channelopathy affecting cardiac and skeletal muscle. Periodic paralysis is a presenting symptom in some patients, whereas, in others, symptomatic arrhythmias or prolongation of QT in ...

Clinical and molecular characterization of a cardiac ryanodine receptor founder mutation causing catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Background Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a difficult-to-diagnose cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). We identified a family of 1400 individuals with multiple cases of CPVT, including 36 SCDs during youth.

Unusual Cause of Bidirectional Ventricular Rhythm
Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BDVT), a rare ventricular arrhythmia, is commonly caused by digitalis toxicity or channelopathies and is rarely caused by aconite toxicity, myocarditis, infarction, or sarcoidosis.
